Product Description
Casper, Wyoming:1973. Eleven-year-old Amy Burridge rides with her eighteen-year-old sister, Becky, to the grocery store. When they finish their shopping, Becky’s car gets a flat tire. Two men politely offer them a ride home. But they were anything but Good Samaritans. The girls would suffer unspeakable crimes at the hands of these men before being thrown from a bridge into the North Platte River. One miraculously survived. The other did not.
Years later, author and journalist Ron Franscell—who lived in Casper at the time of the crime, and was a friend to Amy and Becky—can’t forget Wyoming’s most shocking story of abduction, rape, and murder. Neither could Becky, the surviving sister. The two men who violated her and Amy were sentenced to life in prison, but the demons of her past kept haunting Becky…until she met her fate years later at the same bridge where she’d lost her sister.

• Fans Of True Crime Will Value This Book 07 November, 2008
This well written nonfiction book is worth reading. The author makes you feel as though you have been to the town, met the family, and examined the crime scene. The crime is terrifying, but the author presents the details in a sensitive manner which I found comforting. The book comes with many excellent professional reviews which are accurate and deserved.

• Dissapointed 11 October, 2008
I wanted to know more about the killers and less about all of the other people involved in the case. I didn't care to know about the prosecutor's life, or what he looked like, ect. This would have been a tighter better book had a lot of the descriptions been shorten. I like a book that gets to the point and not just fills the pages with words to hit certain page count.

• The Fall- The Darkest Night 08 October, 2008
THE FALL by Ron Franscell. (A MUST HAVE)
A roller coaster ride from heck!! Keeps you on the edge of your seat from the time you open the cover. Very well written and a book you can't put down. Get ready to pull an all nighter. I shall not ruin it by giving details but I will say throw away your 3 D glasses and latest graphics card for this book will take you away to the place it happened, you will feel as if you are living it. Based on a true story, this book will open your mind and slap you in the face. Beyond brilliant. The Author does something very unique in this story. He watched the story unfold right in front of him. He chooses not to judge or really give a complete opinion. He allows the reader to be Judge and Jury. You can tell it deeply effected him but he presents itFall: The Rape and Murder of Innocence in a Small TownFall: The Rape and Murder of Innocence in a Small Town in a way that he leaves out his own emotion so that it can be replaced by yours.
To this day I can not obtain a copy of Mein Kampf that the author does not have to give you his own opinion of how awful. We know how it ends, we the people do not need other people making our conclusions. I'd like to think we know the difference between right and w

• The Darkest Night: Two Sisters, A Brutal Murder And The Loss Of Innocence In A Small Town . 11 November, 2008
It's a very good book; well written. Although, being an avid reader of True Crime, I like ALL the details and I felt there were a lot of details left out of this book. I would recommend it though.
